Jus-A-CMax

Ok....mods on forums participate in the forum as well. I do alot of threads and posts. Our role is to basically to monitor for trolls aka KBF KBF and also to move dead threads and/or posts. We are part of the community. I don't think I told anyone here they are baloney either, afaik...and all I am saying is tone it down with all the negative dumping but again, I reiterate, I have not modded anyone's posts about what they said either....if the forum wants to head in this direction, so be it. Also in the past, we had such negativity and we all tried to be positive to counter act. Its not attacking anyone's honesty, baloney or whatever anyone care to think I may be poking at, I'm not. I rest by my last sentence on Post #13, think about it. Be positive, look forward...what Ford did or did not do, it's done.... :) Now its my turn to zip up.... :flyaway: Peace.

Yes and I have a right to reply to things as I see, jus as well. Thats my Ying to the Yang. Ping to the Pong...no pun intended. I have not censored anything, but Nick and I can comment on the negativity posts as well, its our right too. Should we both jus shut up? If everyone wants to keep going on, just think about what I said in the last sentence I posted on unlucky #13...think about it.

About bloody time! :worship: Congratulations Paul! Superb time as well. #1 spot is yours :) Quite a jump from the 725 to 863 :drool: Edit: So this proves that it is possible to break 800+ with City (35-45) and now Highway (45-55). May be 13b07 played a bit here, as does the grill cover and the gas pods. Might have to look into these gas pods now ;)

Why is this directed at me...this should have been directed at Nick. As I said, if I want to hear about this ongoing crap-dump on Ford, I go to the next Firefox tab and see the Prii-forum-boyz do a better, funier job. Jus stop dumping in the house you live in, thats all. After a while everyone notices the smell...even the drive bys ;)

Woah...how did I miss this one too... :headscratch: I :flirt: the night shot of the camp and CMax....great photos, such contrast in terrain :rockon: Great writeup for what looks like an AWESOME trip :) :rating:

What! You're dumping on the other car companies, surely you jest Nick....why Ford is the EVIL one here judging by the consensus. Careful now, you'll may accused of being Uncle Alan's shill...jus as I may be accused of shilling the MPGs for the CMax and Uncle Alan too... :secret: Psssst....good post, adds some reality and context to the other thread :salute: PS I know there are a ton of Prii recalls as well which you could have easily thrown in. You know, hybrid to hybrid.

Thanks for the links, thats exactly what I need instead of my el cheapo autozone one. @xanotos...yep. Matt is running 53! Max is 50, I think.

How did I miss this GR :) AT thread :rockon: Nice writeup! Add another 1,800 ft and some snow, you have my trip SDM. So by the sound of things, I should look forward to my 13b07 updated Mammoth trips. You CMax looks pretty much loaded and climbed pretty well with GREAT MPGs....r u sure you don't want to return your check back to Ford...remember, this is :rtfm: NOT POSSIBLE.... :stirpot:

So I inflate my tires with the CMax wee-pump. It says 50psi and then I turn it off. When I check it with my Autozone bought tire pressure reader, it says 46 psi. Which one do I trust?

Jus to add some balance here to Matt's :flirt: fest, I will say, I hate my car. I wish I had brought a Prii. Oooohhhh....that acceleration by concensus gives me such a thrill up my leg..... :drool: ..*uuugghhh*..... anyone want to buy a bridge to nowhere? i have plenty for sale and I will give YOU a forum discount

53!!!! Sssssh...here I was thinking I was brave at 46PSI.....it does roll a TON BETTER though....

dude, you were going to pass on that Christmas Fruit Cake anyway... :runaway:

Dude, your punishment is :rating: worse than the Soviet Gulags or the North Korean Re-education camps...good lord....a new :noobie: dictator in the making :lol:

91 RON ;) ps I voted to ban by the way :twister: and if gets enuf vote...who knows.... ... :lol2:

You keep doing that, you're moving up to the next bar seat at the 800 Mahogany Bar where the top shelf liquid is flowing.... ;)

Well, if its a hybrid, they will drive that slow and pokey. All hybrids drivers do that, right...how long is this show? :baby:

That was a GREAT FIND and TIDBIT by the way, would not have seen it anywhere except here :)

ROFL.... :worship: Nick, you are GOOD....I will humbly back away into the corner and put my pointed hat on.... :salute:

Actually, let me take it back - it was the version prior to 3.6.2, 3.5. Search the forum, Adair spoke with one of the Ford engineers as well as other posts about that "1st" upgrade. Yep, thinking back now 3.6.2 was the last one we all "self" updated and the 3.5 was the one installed by the Ford SAs..thats the one they sneaked in the much needed MPG update.

Red Twin - awesome attitude, glad you're enjoying the car. Whilst we're all arguing about who lied, who goofed up, who lost their bonus (god help Ford if they fire people over this - its tough enough to find any part time job etc)...I think everyone has lost sight of what Ford has done to resolve the MPG issue for some (don't add me to the MPG issue because I HAVE NONE) and contrast this with another company who had more than a decade of hybrid building knowledge, namely: 1. The continued and steady improvements of the CMax FE with 3.5 (we know they sneaked that one in) and then the 13b07 update. 2. Unleashing and removing the 63mph EV limit. This one is HUGE! Remember all the "we cannot do this, the battery is not big enough...the EV motor can't handle it...the sky is going to fall)...but to Ford's credit - the overcame whatever technical challenges they had. Contrast this to the other company > 10 yrs of hybrid driving, they are still stuck on the 40 or 45 mph EV limit. If I owned the other car and see what Ford has done with the CMax just on the EV, I would be peeved. As Nick said, argue all you want about the past, who lied, goofed up, fired....but I'm with him, turn around and lets look forward :)

Lifetime is 49, 20,600 odd miles. Now my running Fuelly is 52. Oops... :sos: ...I :secret: I didn't get the memo that we are not suppose to have more than 43MPG 38 MPGs in this car. Not possible :doh:

Great post Nick.

Even if you jus turn on the CMax on accessory mode - NOT engine on, the Trip computer timers will tick away. How stupid is that, which is why I don't and never liked using the time as a base for someone to calculate your "average" speed. Well....you must have been driving "slow"....really...lets really think about that average "slow" speed, so you're telling me that I drove at 1/2 of the posted speed limit (35-45mph zones), in peak hour & flowing traffic, back/from work for 3 entire weeks...HELL....other drivers don't have to take me out, I'll take myself out :nonono: Reality vs theory :banghead: The timers would be more better if they base it on the Engine ON & when wheels are moving. Whoever did the Timer had a stupid gas-engine mentality :confused:

Nick, you are good! Thanks for the laughs :)

Bribery gets you everywhere....You're in like Flynn ;)
